But then they stick together...problem. Anyway, I don't know if these have a time stamp but it's 2:30 in the morning. You know those nights where you stay up late determined to finish something but then can't because there's not a 24 hour Kinkos anywhere near!

Back up: I wrote a beautiful, amazing blog and was all done and hit the wrong key and it moved pages and didn't save it. so I will re-write it, but for now, pretend that this is beautiful and deep.

Prayer Request: I'm presenting my trip to my church on Sat. night and Sun. morning. I just got back from camping w/ my family on tuesday so yesterday and today have been crazy trying to get all my forms and presentation ready. Plus I leave on Mon for a road trip to creationfest!!!! WOOT! Woot! But really the prayer request is for sat. and sun. night. As any other missionaries or whomever out there understand, the support of your church is important. Please just pray that people will be interested in this and keep me in their prayers and seek God on whether or not to support me financially.

Praise! God's proven several ways through financial and prayer support that He's got my back. I call out to Him to prove it and call me out to a water-like substance. He does and I step out and then freak out and worry. I forgot that it was Him that kept my feet up out of the boat and I start to sink. He just looks at me, reaches out His hand and says "I'll always catch you. In support, in your fears and stresses, in your worries. Just step out in faith and you won't sink. You can even jump for joy! this water like substance can also be a trampoline." Today He reached up and pulled me and now we're jumping on the trampoline-water-like-substance!

I don't want my trust in God to depend on the numbers in my account. I want to floored by His grace in my life, not needing numbers to prove it. And when I think about it, I am. I am floored that He would choose me to do this. I am floored at how each day He reveals His love for me more and more. I am floored that I have a God, a Savior that I can call upon at anytime, anyplace. That I have a best friend that is always there. That I am not alone, ever. He is so beautiful.

Alright, I love writing blogs because it really just makes me think about everthing. And now I am thinking about having to wake up tomorrow. It is now 2:50. Thank you for allowing me to share some random thoughts with you. I hope you are floored by God's presence in life and that you jump on a trampoline-water-like substance for all the joy of simply calling Christ a friend.

P.S. Is anyone else experiencing this? Because I am going to Africa apparently I am now "Super Kill the Spider Woman!" Like everyone thinks I need training in killing bugs? "Who ya gunna call! Fyms!" (Ghostbusters for those that are confused) Anyway, I'm not in Africa yet. I don't mind squishing things every once in a while, tonight alone i have one centipede and like a million little beetles. but i don't do big spiders and my sister decided that at 2 in the morning i do do big spiders. I'll kill them when i get to Africa, not there yet. Well, now all the girls are going to hold me to that. Nevermind. Goodnight or morning!

PPS My hand are covered in glue because i'm ,making a posterboard and the glue cap got stuck so I finger painted it.
